Even though it was a mistake, I wanna point out that Street Prophets is not a bad name at all, maybe you could work it into a new angle for them later. Good show by the way, curious to see what will happen at your Royal Rumble PPV. Like someone else pointed out, maybe it would be a better idea to team up a veteran and a "rookie" who needs the rub. Considering Cesaro is your gatekeeper, maybe team with another heel? Although that's too similar to Benjamin and Thorne. Maybe Rey Mysterio and a young Cruiserweight like Kijar suggested.

Should I release Lars Sullivan? 2). Should I keep him around as a heel with 'nuclear' heat? It's unfortunate the situations he got himself into, although I do believe he was trolling, specially the homophobic remarks with all the recent leaks (although it doesn't justify it), and the forums in which he made those, which are known for this kind of troll behavior. Anyway, if he does end up released, I can understand why.

Well, I think there's too much focus on the veteran workers on NXT, maybe give some that aren't that important/expensive to you a vacation? But then again it's now the third brand, not exactly a developmental company anymore, so that might be a bad idea... But, as conflicting as that might sound with the previous statement, I feel like many of the young guys are getting too many "upsets", Adam Cole for an instance, don't think he should be beating The Miz yet, and that's a problem I have in real life too, haven't been able to enjoy Ali recently because his massive push this last year or so didn't feel very organic, unlike Buddy Murphy, who's picking up wins against midcarders, like R-Truth or Cedric Alexander. I don't think every talented young guy should get the "strap a rocket to him" treatment, but that's still up to you to decide (based on the ratings too). The presentation is pretty unique and I dig it. Little tip, if you want some pretty fonts which are free to boost the presentation, look up "Google Fonts", really useful resource. Looking forward to what you have in store for Drew and Bray as Smackdown main champions, also curious to see where that weird Bobby Lashley/Lana storyline is gonna lead lol.

I have been telling people since day one from the shirts tweets, ACH clearly has some issues. I disagree about the design too, I feel like it wasn't something done with malicious intent, just a poorly thought out minimalist template, not that there isn't racism in the wrestling enviroment, but it doesn't justify him lashing out like that. But back then that was something debatable, now it's basically fact. Just like Alpha said, pay attention to his recent behavior, he called Jay Lethal a Uncle Tom, if you're able to make outrageous claims like this and the ones directed at WWE, you better back it up and be ready for criticism to prove your point, but instead he threw a temper tantrum, lashed out at his co-workers, the business, and the fans that put food in his table. No mental ilness, debatable racism allegations or whatever justify his childish behavior, he needs a psychologist to sort his demons out, not Twitter enabling this behavior.

I see your point. I have done a few personal saves with modern WWE, it's really hard to figure out stuff for the mid/low card except if you already had something in mind for them. I also brought back Superstars too and I would use it to give Openers/Lower Midcarders victories over local talent, so they have some sort of momentum when putting people over, kinda how WWF used to do until the Attitude Era. But they shouldn't have that many people on the roster to begin with, it's really bloated and I understand why Lloyd released some people.

But that's a good thing, I'm intrigued, specially with those unique rosters your brands have. Also, I 100% agree with your ramblings on WWE real life booking from early on this thread.

Hello, wanted to say that I really enjoy this diary, started reading it about 1/2 months ago, finally got up-to-date, and gotta say, the worldbuilding seems really inspired and I love how you do this thing where you describe the usual in-game incidents, taking "artistic liberty" to expand what was going on with Bret's first person perspective, really makes this an unique experience and makes this universe you've created very believable. Looking forward to what you have up your sleeve for 2004.

You're right, I just checked and she's not flaky, I guess I mixed her up with Lita who has the flaky behavior (rightfully so). Looking forward to see this finished.

<p>Minor detail, why Victoria is "ruthless", "pessimitic" and "flaky"? I always heard the opposite, that she was very optmistic and easy to deal with. I'm curious, was that an overlook or is there actual evidence/reports for this? I also think Kane should be a positive influence (I mean, if Orton is...).</p><p> </p><p> Otherwise, excellent job so far, I dig the Ruthless Aggression era a lot and there should be more takes on the 2002-2008 era.</p>
